The four Ps of Personalisation

The four Ps of Personalisation | Web Ιnterrupted | Scoop.it
One to one marketing is back. And this time it’s personal.
Pavlos Nomikos's insight:

I believe personalisation must be the marketers dream these days, given that the consumer's experience on the Internet (e.g. Amazon) and social media today is much more personal by definition.

 

Its also nice to see that technological platforms today have matured to accomodate personalized on line experiences. 

 

This article focuses on conversion rather than building traffic and the principles to gain an ROI out of personalisation.

Pew Study Hints at Facebook Fatigue Among U.S. Users - SocialTimes

Pew Study Hints at Facebook Fatigue Among U.S. Users - SocialTimes | Web Ιnterrupted | Scoop.it
Two-thirds of adult Americans online use Facebook, but just 8 percent of non-users are interested in joining the social network, while 61 percent of current users have at some point walked away from the site for a period of several weeks or more,...
Pavlos Nomikos's insight:

If you have felt the occasional boredom with FB, you are not on your own. 

 

"Among those who took a break from Facebook, lack of interest in the site, absence of compelling content, excess of gossip or “drama,” and interference with their productivity each accounted for about 10 percent. One in five of the users who took a hiatus said they were simply too busy."

Pavlos Nomikos's insight:

3 part presentation on KM. The popularity of social media and collaboration platforms has brought KM back into consideration for some corporations. 

Dick Cheuk's curator insight, December 27, 2012 5:41 PM

These three parts presentation slides show how organisations can better use social media to help their people sharing their knowledge.  One point I like about what they suggested is they see social media not as individual tool but a collective tools to do KM.  Some organisations use social media separately: a blog is a blog and a wiki is a wiki.  The power of social media only can be seen when they are used in a mix and match style that suit your needs.

 

The other important point they made is knowledge management is not about capturing knowledge and put it somewhere, but to connect the knowledge seekers and knowledge providers.  Knowledge is only valuable when being used.

The Rise of the Attention Economy by Esther Dyson - Project Syndicate

The Rise of the Attention Economy by Esther Dyson - Project Syndicate | Web Ιnterrupted | Scoop.it
Just as we are driven to spread our physical DNA, so we (apparently) have an urge to spread our virtual identities, so that we cannot be erased.
Pavlos Nomikos's insight:

An interesting persective on why the Internet changes the balance of power between individuals and institutions.


"This attention economy is not the intention economy beloved of vendors, who grab consumers’ attention in order to sell them something. Rather, attention here has its own intrinsic, non-monetizable value. The attention economy is one in which people spend their personal time attracting others’ attention, whether by designing creative avatars, posting pithy comments, or accumulating “likes” for their cat photos."

An Effective Marketing Model for Selling High-Value Content While Giving Most of It Away for Free


Robin Good: if you want to get a glimpse of what are going to be  some of the key emerging trends in the world of marketing in 2013, I could not suggest a better resource than this one.

 

Rohit Barghava, has put together a stunning presentation outlining 15 marketing trends for 2013, and providing for each one a curated set of real-world examples from websites / companies showcasing the trend already at work.

 

The presentation/booklet is outstanding both for its unique and highy effective presentation format, but also for the marketing strategy to promote through it an ebook of the very same topic. The beauty of this approach is that most of the value is given out for free here, in this presentation, providing a great opportunity for the author to build trust and credibility for those not familiar with him, and then to offer the opportunity to get more for a small price.

 

A touch of marketing class is also the "Backstory" at page 94 explaining in a simple page the "methodology" that was used to gather these trends.

 

Overall a great piece of content. Both for its contents, as well as for its delivery format and for its content marketing approach.

It should be used as a model.

 

 

Highly Recommended. A model for high-value content marketing strategy and highly-effective curated visual delivery format 10/10

Guide To Creating Personas: How To Understand And Meet User Needs

Guide To Creating Personas: How To Understand And Meet User Needs | Web Ιnterrupted | Scoop.it

Personas are used by some of the leading brands around the world to help guide their design choices and marketing touchpoint strategies. Creating personas will help you understand your website’s visitor, how they’ll utilize your website, and the types of information they need most to support their buying decisions.


The “Guide To Creating Personas Infographic” will help you as a business owner realize the value personas can offer. You’ll also find tips and “How To”s for building your company’s personas, so you can better meet the needs of your users.


What are Personas?

Personas are hypothetical archetypes, or “stand-ins” for actual users that drive the decision making for interface design projects. Personas are not real people, but they represent real people and users throughout the design process. Personas are not “made up”; they are discovered as a by-product of the investigative process. Names and personal details are made up for personas to make them more realistic and life-like. Personas are defined by their goals. Interfaces are built to satisfy personas’ needs and goals.

In a general context of gloom and recession, the global luxury industry continues its insolent growth fueled largely by the accession of BRIC citizens (Brazil, Russia, India, China) to millionaire statuds. The members of this growing club of affluent people do not just acquire designer objects symbolic of their class as they are now more interested in unique or even transformational experiences.
